About this listen

Until recently, Isobel has always loved The Close. A quiet road of large houses tucked away in the beautiful English countryside, it seemed like the perfect place to live. Then, six months ago, a young man was killed in a mysterious hit-and-run incident. The police investigated, but no one was charged, which left a bad feeling in this little community, a feeling that someone knows more than they are saying.

So when new neighbor Linette arrives, Isobel thinks it’s the perfect chance to make a fresh start, to repair relationships, and rebuild her community. But someone else has a very different plan, and bad things start to happen. When there’s another death, Isobel realizes her home, her marriage, and her family are all in terrible danger. She is certain that what’s happening is connected to the hit-and-run. But how? What really happened on the night of the fatal accident? And above all, who is Linette, and what does she really want?

This author keeps you guessing and her plots are multi layered. I only took off a star as I found Isobel so irritating at times! Great story.

Lots of twists and turns

The story seemed quite good, so in theory should have been better. But I think the narrator's voice made the main female character sound a bit pathetic (not that she wasn't annoying anyway). And it really seemed unnecessarily lengthy and drawn out; at one stage I was wondering when it would end.

Ok

Although I am a MASSIVE Miranda Rijks fan and have listened to quite a few of her novels, I have to admit this is my least favourite one up to now.
In the previous novels, I was quite literally curling my toes at all the twists and turns and genuinely couldn't wait for the next chapter but I really didn't get those sensations with this story.
Maybe I'm becoming de-sensitised to this style of writing, but I found it quite predictable and quite honestly, I wanted to shake Isobella until her teeth rattled! I mean....is anyone really THAT nice !!!
Or maybe I'm in need of a different author for a while so that I return to Miranda refreshed after Christmas!

Not MY personal favourite.......
